The scenario was added without any hint in the readme, so a contributor had to read molecule.yml to find out which tools are needed and how to invoke them. Molecule ships only its default driver, therefore podman and the collection containers.podman are prerequisites that are not obvious. The section is placed above the parameters, because the readme generator treats the parameter section as the last one in the file and replaces everything below it.

# certificate-authority
|
|
|
|
This Ansible role can be used to create a root and intermediate certificate authority and issue client certificates from
|
|
them. Additionally offers the ansible role the feature to import the certificates of the authority into the systems
|
|
trust store.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
The following minimal example creates a root and intermediate certificate authority and issues a client certificate from
|
|
the intermediate certificate authority.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
certificate_authority_client_skip: false
|
|
certificate_authority_client_common_name: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
|
|
certificate_authority_client_subject_alternative_names:
|
|
- "DNS:{{ inventory_hostname }}"
|
|
- "DNS:san.example.local"
|
|
- "IP:10.11.12.13"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Tests
|
|
|
|
The role is tested with [Molecule](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/molecule/). The scenario starts one podman
|
|
container per supported distribution family, applies the role, asserts that a second run reports no change and finally
|
|
verifies the issued certificates with `openssl verify`, their file permissions and the anchor in the systems trust
|
|
store.
|
|
|
|
Molecule ships only its `default` driver, therefore `podman` and the collection `containers.podman` are required
|
|
besides molecule itself.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install molecule
|
|
ansible-galaxy collection install community.crypto containers.podman
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The complete sequence creates the containers, tests them and removes them afterwards.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
molecule test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
While working on the role the containers are better kept alive.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# create the containers and apply the role
|
|
molecule converge
|
|
|
|
# run the assertions of molecule/default/verify.yml against the running containers
|
|
molecule verify
|
|
|
|
# open a shell in one of the containers
|
|
molecule login --host certificate-authority-debian
|
|
|
|
# remove the containers
|
|
molecule destroy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
